Lizzie, became the happy bride of Mr. Ernest Rader. The bride, who was Handsomely attired, was assisted by Miss Clara Rader, sister of the groom, while Mr, John Decker, Jr., brother of the bride, supported the groom. Rev. E. Schuelke tied the nuptial -knot in the presence of the immediate rela- tives iif the youngconple, After the cerernany a dainy tea was served and the remainder of the evening was pleasantly spent by all. The bride was made the recipientofa number otuse- ful and pretty gifts. To Mr. and Mrs. Rader we bespeak a happy and pros- perons married life. DIED.—The past few months has brcni bt many deaths in onr towbship and the old pioneers are fast Massing away, the latest to pay natures debt being Mr. James Hagan, of the Parr Line, whose soul was taken to its ma- ker, at.5 o'clock Tuesday morning at the age of 74 years.. He was- born in the County of Tyronne, Ireland,where he remained until the age of twenty- four years. .Feeling that better chanc- es awaited a strong and rugged man such as he was he bid farewell 'to the land of his birth, and accompanied by his brother, John,'set sail for America landing in New York, then to Toronto - where he spent two years. He . then came to this township and took rip the land that now marks the farm on which he died. It was but a wilder- ness then with a few roads, but hew- ing ont a spot to build a house on, and gathering a few comforts around him that usually go with a pioneer's life he took unto himself' a helpmate in the person of Ann C. Jordon, daughter of James Jordan. of Goderich township, who with six sons and five daughters survive him. In private. life Mr. Ha- gan was pleasant and companionable. In council and advice he always evinc- ed the soberest wisdom, and was a kind husband and father. In religion he was a Catholic and in politics a Liber- al. The funeral took place Thursday at 10 a.m. from St. Boniface Catholic church, Zurich, his six sons acted as pall bearers, it being the wish of their father ere he passed away.
